DOUBLE STANDARD

From RealClearPolitics:  Bachmann and Reid are treated differently when they raise charges that can't be substantiated.  Bachmann was criticized for her statements, even by follow Republicans, but no one seems concerned about Reid's unsubstantiated charges.

Conservatives often complain of two sets of standards in politics: one for Democrats and another for Republicans. Sometime that double standard is imaginary. Often, it's quite real.

Not only are Democrats and the White House unwilling to denounce him publicly, but Reid himself claimed in an interview with his home state media that the Obama campaign is delighted by his underhanded tactics and wants to see him continue to drive the media discussion of Mitt Romney’s tax returns.
